I was looking at some 914 posters yesterday at the rennlist site, some from daytona, these from 71.



Here are some posters, also celebrating the 71 race, I think they are modern versions, I found on some Portuguese site

and perfect for above your homosexually-pillowed couch

You like those banners with the yellow 914???

Well they are mine. SOB is stilling selling them without paying me.

I am glad you posted that. I almost bought 1.

What is he selling them for?

They are nice. I'm a graphic designer by trade myself, so that's saying something; I'm kind of a snob that way. :-)

It's a bit confusing what they are going for, with the translation and stuff. .. maybe $90?

Nathan,

We should team up and make some of our own and undercut him. I know his shipping cost to the US are at least $20/order.

You guys should team up and make them. I bought one of his 917 Gulf banners and I couldn't believe how small it was once I got it. I didn't physically look at them measurement to determaine the size, I went by the comparison to the gay couch. Sure enough that couch must be for Barbies to make the banner look that big.

What a joke!!

I've talked to a few people about doing it but no one want to get into it. I'd be willing if there was someone who new the art side of it.

1980. The photos that I'm posting are taken by me at the race. The picture below is all over the web. I've seen it on at least 8 different forums.

Paul,

His ebay user name is fanmarino. He has some listed with a buy it now at 89-98 dollars and some auctions for the same item starting at 0.

I purchased a shirt from him, and I like the design, but the shirt was really thin, and the grphic was ironed on, not silk screened.

There were two guys selling banners using my Rennsport Reunion photos. One was in Bosnia/Herzegovina and one was in Austria. It isn't like I can drive over there and kick thier ass. I had an agreement with one of them to pay me a fee for each one he sold but that didn't last too long.

I'll bet Poorsche914 can help if you decide to redo. They're cool art!

BOT...(Back on track) Are the cars and speeds of today just too much for a 914 to compete in the 24 hour now??

What about Sebring 12 hour or other big races today?

Bill,
Thanks for the mention. I was just thinking about PMing URY about doing some of these. Let's see what we can work out.

I have a friend that is going. Can't wait to get the pictures from him.

Sorry the days of a 914 running with the dogs is log over.

We should all team up and work together o....been in graphics since 1981 ..out growing my home studio...lets get a place

Sure^^^ I got the pictures and a dot matrix printer. Let's go for it!!!

dot matrix

That's the hurdle right there, posters cost a lot to print, or I should say large format printers are really pricey. I can only go to 13" by whatever on mine. Would cost around $50 to get something printed poster sized like from here

Other issue is quality. Best case scenario, with the original negative 35mm film, the car filling the picture, you get a 914 35mm wide x 24mm tall, scanned at 3000dpi max, printed out at 300 dpi, you get a final output at good resolution of 13" wide x 10"highfor the car. You could stretch it to 150dpi and get a good sized car but it would be grainy.

Large format camera and film scanner, anyone?

My current restoration car was in the 1980 24
